Why is Aeration Important for Your Yard?
Aeration may not be top of mind when considering lawn maintenance, but it is essential for sustained lawn health. This technique involves adding holes to your lawn and offers a variety of benefits that make your lawn healthier with less hands-on effort.
Adds Oxygen to Your Lawn
One guaranteed benefit from aeration is the oxygen added to your soil. The holes in the lawn allow more air to flow into the yard, so your soil can breathe and CO2 isn’t trapped under the surface. If too much Carbon Dioxide is in your soil, you risk the roots of your plants and grass not growing well. Using a professional service for your aeration is a great way to prevent this.
Avoids Soil Compaction
Compacted soil limits the water, oxygen, and nutrients your grass and plants need to survive. So if you’re noticing puddling water, thin or patchy grass, or soil so hard that it can’t be pierced, you may be dealing with compacted soil. Aeration combats this by moving the soil around and making space for the other necessary aspects of lawn care.
Makes It Easier for Plants to Absorb Nutrients & Water
The space created from aeration gives the roots a better chance of absorbing necessary nutrients. More nutrients are available naturally, and you can combine fertilization treatments to increase the soil's nutrients. Most experts will recommend fertilizing after aeration for this reason.
Once you aerate, you should notice a pretty immediate difference in water runoff and puddling in your yard, and that’s because it’s able to get into the ground better. This absorption allows your plants to take in water more efficiently.
Yard Has Better Stress Tolerance
When your yard has better access to things it needs to survive, it can deal with stressors more easily. For example, aeration makes it easier for water to get into the soil, so when a drought happens, your lawn has better tolerance and can go without water for a more extended time.

When Is It Time to Add Aeration to Your Lawn?
Knowing when it’s time to add aeration to your selection of lawn maintenance services can be tricky, but there are some things to watch out for that will warn you that your lawn’s health could be in danger.
Run Off & Puddling in Your Yard
If you notice water sticking around on your lawn after rainfall, it could be because of soil compaction. So when there’s a lot of standing water in your yard, you should consider adding aeration to loosen up your soil and increase water absorption.
Thinning Grass & Thatch Patches
It’s never a good sign when you have noticeably thinning grass in your yard. Thatch is also a bad sign because the combination of living and dead grasses creates a barrier between actively growing grass and the soil. This happens when the grass can’t get strong roots, and the soil is packed down.
Dry & Hard Soil
When you notice that a shovel can’t break the soil in your yard or is packed down when you walk over it, this is a bad sign for your lawn’s soil. At this point, you would want to commit to aeration to create space in your soil and allow moisture to penetrate the ground.
How Much Do Aeration Services Cost?
The cost of aeration will vary depending on the size of your yard and the combination of services you include. But this service alone generally costs between $100 and $300. Since this service doesn’t require any products or chemicals as part of the application, the process is less intensive than other maintenance services. Still, it does require more physical effort, which can ultimately impact the price.
Experienced Experts Ensure Aeration with Lasting Results
When you add aeration services to your regular lawn maintenance, you’re creating a lawn with the best possible chance of success. The service is excellent as you expand into more specific lawn improvements. Better nutrient absorption, water uptake, and oxygen flow will make your plants more vibrant.
